Appalachian Mountain Club personnel hiked down the trail from the Lake in the Clouds hut, splinted her leg, and helped her get to the hut at 4:30 p.m., according to New Hampshire Fish and Game Department officials.

A medical helicopter was called, but could not fly due to weather conditions. Maguire stayed overnight at the hut.

The temperature dropped and wind speeds increased to 60 mph on Wednesday. A state park van and other vehicles took rescuers to the top of the mountain, where they hiked down 1.5 miles along the Crawford Path to the Lake in the Clouds hut. Rescuers put Maguire in a litter and carried her to the top of Mount Washington at 2:30 p.m.

She was taken down the Mount Washington Auto Road to an ambulance. Maguire planned to seek medical attention in the Concord area, officials said.

Rescuers from Fish and Game, the AMC, Mount Washington State Park, the Mount Washington Observatory, and a class from SOLO Wilderness Medicine in Conway helped Maguire get off mountain safely.
